thoughts on a rainy day
On Fiber-Arts Mixed Media many (I think mostly American, I think) refer to the term ETSY. I plucked up the courage to ask waht it means, and THEN decided to Google it. Nobody seems to know for sure. the closest explanation was Easy To Sell Yourself. there is also an Etsy site similar to bid-or-buy, but selling craft, hand-made and vintage items.
Does anyone else have any ideas?
My garden is loving the rain. It was so dry a month ago that we had to water the indigenous plants under the forest canopy - the first time in 15 years. Thank goodness for this lovely respite.

Paper swap bits
I have participated in three Paper Swaps so far and i am enjoying the experience immensely.
A clever lady - Lawendula- pairs up people from all over the world, and we send each other an envelope filled with bits and pieces to match the theme. On receiving the material you create mixed-media pieces.
All these pieces were create from the January paper swap.
I bit the bullet and signed up for the whole year - a paper swap for every month! i am working at my tendency to procrastinate (I have just posted my envelopes for Feb and March!)
I received my envelopes from two ladies in the US last week (only slightly less tardy than I am) and i am loving working with their bits and pieces.

weekend work
I am back in my classroom this morning (Sat.) as we have an open day. the community is invited to visit the school to view our facilities so my art room is uncommonly tidy. I don't do tidy as it doesn't last long and my pupils become decidedly uneasy if things are too ordered!
It is a beautiful, hot, humid day and i can see the boys on the cricket pitch and the Indian Ocean beyond. i must have the best classroom view in the world.
A friend and I run a group called STACA (Sheppie Teens Against Cancer and AIDS). Some of the members are at two shopping malls helping out with the CANSA Shavathon. She is out checking on them and I will go around later to see how they are.
I am so proud to be a part of Sheppie High today. Our ECL (Executive Council of Learners) are doing a sterling job of informing our visitors of the attractions of the school.
I also want to go and check on the exhibition at the SC Mall to see if everything is O.K.
